This deck is all about getting a ton of creatures in the graveyard, making
Nemesis of Mortals
basically free to cast and monstrous, Making Nighthowler a nightmare, and allowing Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to win you the game, If you don't sack some enormous creature to
Scourge of Skola Vale
and trample the opponent into Nyx.
Let me give some examples of different scenarios where this deck can excel just by providing lots of options.You have two mana dorks out, 5 creatures in the graveyard, 4 mana on field, and a nemesis, nighthowler and jarad in hand.
Play nemesis for 2 green, than bestow nighthowler on him. next turn draw some kind of mill, play the discard, swing with nemesis. if they block with something bigger or dont chump block, monstrous nemesis, hitting them for 15 if you didn't mill any creatures. If you get one more mana out, next turn you can swing for crit, or play jarad and sack nemesis.The reason that
Scourge of Skola Vale
is in here is that it provides more ways to win and protection from removal. For a three drop with trample, this cards forces kill cards to focus it instead of a bigger card, since you can tap and sack at any time, such as when blocking a big creature with voyaging satyr and another one with scourge, then sacking the satyr to scourge.
This deck needs tons of mana dorks to fill the graveyard with creatures make up for the low number of lands.The reason that Sylvan Caryatid is not included is because of the defender. If i do not draw any other creatures, I can bestow a Nighthowler on any of the mana dorks and swing for days. I can also sack the bestowed creature using Scourge or Jarad for damage or counters, and Nighthowler remains on the field and gets another +1 since there is another creature in the graveyard.
The reason for Shadowborn Demon is removal, as well as who doesn't need a 5/6 flying beatstick who will stay on the field?
A possible improvement to the deck that I have already considered is Deathrite Shamans. However, I have actually already built this deck, and did not have another $40 to drop on a play set of these. They would be an excellent addition to the deck, replacing some of the mana dorks and adding the utility of life-gain or damage.
Drown in filth is an amazing card in this deck, a card that can kill an indestructible fairly easily by turn 4 or 5 with all of the discard.
What this deck needs now is a sideboard.I think that I need more removal to help slow down uber aggro decks that could kill me before I have the the chance to pump up my creatures.I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or advice or other cards that would be useful in this deck.
If you like this deck, I would greatly appreciate an up-vote or comment. Or hate on it if you want, as long as you say why
